RTVF 010 - (AA) Introduction to Cinema StudiesSemester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring
This course introduces students to the film medium as an art form. The course explores a diverse body of work, dealing with concepts such as genres (for example, horror, sci-fi, the Western), and national cinemas (for example, German expressionism, Italian neorealism, or French new wave) and film authorship (for example, Kubrick Hitchcock), as well as the various aesthetic components of the medium (cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing). By learning to identify and analyze film form and style, students become familiar with production techniques and various theories of film language, as well as cinema’s powerful influence on other visual media. Lectures and readings are combined with feature film screenings.
